“…The creation of good two-way communication between the communicator (as a speaker) and the communicant (as a speech partner) has the same view of the information content of messages conveyed through the communication media. In order to make the communication to work well [5], there are many principles of communication that need to be obeyed by speakers and interlocutors. In this era of global communication, people are required to understand the contexts which are deliberately created by speakers, so that some of the goals of communication lead to erroneous transactions [6].…”

This research aimed to describe and explain the results of socio-pragmatic study in the phenomenon of news headline regarding the regional election in some print media in Indonesia. Socio-pragmatic combined the basic concept of language in the field of the society and the meaning contained in the discourse. The object of this research was the use of the title of discourse on political news. The functioning of titles in political news requires an understanding of the text and context in the field of comprehension of the discourse as a whole. Discourse in print media is a productive communication tool between the communicator and the communicant. The nature of news headlines is expected to reflect the entire contents of critical discourse delivered in an expository way. This study used a qualitative approach with the method of analyzing critical discourse on political news headlines in print media in Indonesia in a socio-pragmatic perspective. The identification was done by snowball sampling of all political news headlines to find the saturation point. After reaching the saturation point, the triangulation of data was performed to test the validity. The validity was used by method triangulation, source triangulation, and researcher triangulation. The data analysis technique with interactive technique in this research consisting of four stages of data processing, namely data collection, data reduction, conclusion drawing, and data display.

“…In contrast, corpus linguistics traditionally tends to concentrate on "forms (e.g., text and co-text) at the expense of the (situational, sociological and cultural) dynamics of context, particularly at the local, micro level" (Archer et al 2008, p. 614). To date, an increasing number of studies have merged corpus linguistics and pragmatics, with a particular focus on pragmatic theories including speech acts and pragmatic features such as discourse markers (e.g., Aijmer and Rühlemann 2015;Archer et al 2008;Belz and Vyatkina 2008;Clancy and O'Keeffe 2015;Gisle 2011;Rühlemann 2010Rühlemann , 2011Romero-Trillo 2008, 2016. This merged field is called corpus pragmatics (see Romero-Trillo 2008).…”

This study shows how learner corpora can be applied to the investigation of interlanguage pragmatics by examining the requests produced by Japanese English learners at the A1 and A2 levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) from the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology Japanese Learner English (NICT JLE) Corpus. Requestive forms in shopping role plays were manually extracted by modifying the Cross-Cultural Speech Act Realization Project (CCSARP) coding scheme (Blum-Kulka et al. in Cross-cultural pragmatics: requests and apologies. Ablex, Norwood, pp 1989), and the functions of requests were identified by developing an original scheme. It was observed that the extracted pragmalinguistic features included lexico-grammatically unsuitable learner-specific patterns. Among A1 learners, the use of a declarative statement without the modal verb will (e.g., I buy it) is characteristic of requests with the function of showing an intention to purchase a particular item at a shop, while a declarative statement with a topic-comment structure (e.g., Colour is blue) is characteristic of requests with the function of elaborating a particular item that the customer wants to purchase. By contrast, A2 learners tend to increase the use of suitable patterns with modal verbs (i.e., I will take…) or conventionalised patterns (e.g., I decided to buy…). Nevertheless, they tend to produce lexico-grammatically unsuitable patterns, such as the addition of the to-infinitive to the desire verb want (e.g., I want to Japanese book), more frequently than A1 learners. These pragmalinguistic features illustrate the interlanguage aspects involved in the production of morphosyntactic or lexico-grammatical features by Japanese learners of English with low proficiency.

“…The meaning and purpose of the language construction from symbols can be traced semantically and pragmatically [2]. The lingual markers that appear on the inscriptions, combining them with an understanding of the context of the inscription, and relating it with the history of inscriptions will ease the readers to understand the intent of the inscription text [3]. Therefore, as a form of experimental method to understand the purpose of the inscription text, the researcher tried to synchronize with the inscription of the Tarumanegara kingdom in West Java.…”

This research aimed to describe the type and function of speech acts in the Tarumanegara kingdom inscriptions from a pragmatic point of view. This research was conducted in Bogor, Banten, Jakarta, and Cirebon, the places where the inscriptions discovered. The data collection in this research used observation technique, interview, and documentation. Furthermore, the advanced technique of this method is note-taking. Data were analyzed and explained through a reliable and balanced method. The findings of this research were the types and pragmatic functions described as various categories and sub-categories of speech acts. Those are (1) assertive illocutionary speech acts (TTA) manifested in sub-TTA: informing, explaining, telling, and showing something; (2) expressive illocutionary speech acts (TTE) which was manifested in sub-TTE: pride.
